"Find a Dealer near you" locator script

Anyone knows how I can find a script for "Find a Dealer near you" locator
script?
I prefer to have it in two stages:
1. The customer will enter his address, and then the result will be a list of
dealer in a radius of let's say 20 miles.

2. When the user clicks on the dealer's link, the result will be the exact
Driving distance.

If this is not the right forum to post this message, then, if you know which
one is the right one, please let me know.

Thanks,

You will need some kind of API/Database that will let you do that. A few of
those are:

http://extranet.mapinfo.com/products...FTOKEN=9781408

http://www.electricvine.com/Products...p?ProductID=50
Or, if you have a database of dealers, you can enter these addresses in a
database, along with their latitude/longitude. Then, based on the address,
find the distance. It seems simple, but it can be tricky if you have a ton
of dealers.
To find latitude/longitude of a given address:

To find distance between two latitude/longitude sets:

I have to find zipcodes within a given mileage range (25, 50, etc). I know it's possible to use the longitude/latitude to find this, and I have that for the zipcodes, but does anyone have a "ready made" formula? I know it has something to do with the sine/cosine, but the "signs" aren't clear enough to me (neither are the wonders). Thanks in advance for the wisdom. J

I am trying to write one. Are there any tools that I need to use to write it?(may be mapPoint?) I think that there are two ways to write the appication: 1.

I am trying to find some hints or script. 2. Having database of all my dealers. One table will have the dealers,...

I am trying to find a script to a "dealer locator" or "find a store near you". I will have two tables. One will include all US and Canada ZIPs including lat and longtitudes. The other one is a table of our dealers (or store) including thier ZIP codes. When the user enters his ZIP code, the application needs to check (based on the lat and long) if there is a dealer in a 30 miles radious. After the application finds the list of all the...

I need an Access application that can search dealers from my dealer list, in a 30 miles distance from the user. You may see many applications like this on the web if you search under "find a dealer near you". Here is one I found: http://www.shakespeare-antennas.com/content/dealersearch.asp But I do not want to have it on the web, I want to create it on access. I think will need at least two tables:

Hello, I am wondering if there is a sly workaround in ArcGIS 9.2 where I can write a "near" analysis script in Python and create my own tool for the purpose of identifying the distance values between multiple points and lines? Apparently the Near tool under Proximity Analysis in ArcMap is restricted to ArcInfo users. If anyone out there knows how to do this, or where I could go to get a few hints, that would be helpful. Thanks!
